(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana drivers can knock $5 off their registration cost for each vehicle by renewing online with the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles from now until next October.

The BMV also announced Thursday that customers will be able to set appointments at 73 branches across the state starting Jan. 3.

Gov. Mitch Daniels says 2007 has been a year of steady improvement in service levels for the BMV, but more work remains. He noted that average visit times at BMV branches dropped to a low of 7 minutes and 41 seconds last month. The average for the year was nearly 11 minutes.
